4. [Article] Convergence of Microclimate in Residential Landscapes Across Diverse Cities in the United States
Context The urban heat island (UHI) is a welldocumented pattern of warming in cities relative to rural areas. Most UHI research utilizes remote sensing methods at large scales, or climate sensors in single ...Citation -
5. [Article] Examination of Human Impacts on the Biodiversity and Ecology of Lichen and Moss Communities
Globally, more than half of the world's population is living in urban areas and it is well accepted that human activities (e.g. climate warming, pollution, landscape homogenization) pose a multitude of ...Citation -
In the event of an environmental disturbance, dispersal of native taxa may provide species and genetic diversity to ecosystems, increasing the likelihood that there will be species and genotypes present ...
